I’m Amiti Grozdon, a licensed therapist (M.Ed., LCMHC) practicing virtually across New Hampshire. I specialize in depression, anxiety, ADHD, and neurodiverse adults. If something has felt flat, heavy, or off for longer than it should — and you’re not sure whether it’s depression or just life — that’s worth talking about. Sessions are 50 minutes, fully virtual, private pay.

Manchester is built on a particular kind of toughness. Mill city roots, working families, people who push through. That culture is real, and it’s part of why depression goes unrecognized here longer than it should. You tell yourself you’re tired. You tell yourself it’s stress. The weeks become months.

If something has felt off for a while — not dramatically wrong, just flat, gray, or heavier than it should be — that’s worth taking seriously.

“Depression in a working city often looks like someone still getting things done. The people most surprised by their diagnosis are usually the ones who kept functioning.”

What Depression Looks Like in Manchester

In this city, depression rarely looks like the clinical picture people imagine. It looks like showing up to your job at the hospital, the warehouse, or the office — handling everything you’re supposed to handle — and feeling like none of it connects to you. Like watching your own life from one step back.

Southern New Hampshire winters make it worse. By February, the days are short, the cold is relentless, and a lot of people here are running on fumes they’ve had since October. Seasonal patterns are real, and Manchester’s climate amplifies them.

  • Persistent flatness or emptiness that doesn’t lift
  • Loss of interest in things that used to matter
  • Exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix
  • Pulling away from people without wanting to
  • Trouble concentrating or finishing things
  • A sense that things won’t improve

Depression or Something Else?

More likely depression
Flatness lasting weeks, not days
Loss of interest in things you used to care about
Exhaustion that doesn’t lift with rest
Withdrawing without wanting to
A persistent sense things won’t improve
More likely something else
Sadness tied to a specific event that lifts
Tiredness after a hard week that clears
Needing alone time to recharge
Stress with clear, manageable sources
Grief that moves and shifts over time

If the left column sounds familiar and has been going on for more than two weeks, it’s worth talking to someone. You don’t need to be certain before reaching out.

Getting Support in Manchester

Getting support in Manchester is more accessible than most people realize. A lot of people assume therapy means driving somewhere, sitting in a waiting room, and carving two hours out of a workday. Virtual therapy removes that problem entirely — a session happens from wherever you are in New Hampshire, on your schedule.

Worth naming: a lot of people who come to me thinking they have depression are carrying undiagnosed ADHD. The chronic frustration and shame of untreated ADHD can look almost identical to depression. If that resonates, it’s worth exploring alongside everything else.

What Therapy Actually Does

Not generic coping strategies. In sessions, we look at what’s maintaining the depression — whether that’s patterns in how you respond to your environment, relationship dynamics that drain you, or a nervous system that’s been dysregulated for years. We build a specific picture of what’s keeping you stuck and work on that directly.

If your relationship is part of the weight you’re carrying, couples therapy in Manchester is available alongside individual work. Depression and relationship stress feed each other, and addressing one without the other often leaves a lot on the table.

Other Ways I Can Help

Depression doesn’t always travel alone. Many people come in for depression and discover ADHD, relationship patterns, or anxiety underneath it. Here’s what else I work on:

Common Questions

Do you offer depression therapy in Manchester, NH?+
Yes. Virtual therapy for individuals in Manchester and throughout New Hampshire. HIPAA-compliant video sessions, no commute. Couples sessions also available. Book a free 15-minute consult to see if it fits.
What does depression feel like from the inside?+
For most people it’s flatness, not dramatic sadness. Things feel gray. Activities that used to be enjoyable feel pointless. You go through the motions and somewhere inside you know you’re not really there. The people around you might not notice because you’re still functioning. But you notice.
Can depression and ADHD look alike?+
Yes, and they often co-occur. Untreated ADHD produces chronic frustration and shame that can look almost identical to depression. If you’ve been working on what you think is depression and not seeing improvement, it’s worth asking whether ADHD is part of the picture. I offer ADHD therapy and neurodivergent adult support alongside depression work.
How long does therapy for depression take?+
It depends on what’s driving it. Some people notice meaningful shifts in 8 to 12 sessions. Others need longer, especially if depression has been present for years or is layered with ADHD or relationship patterns. I’ll be honest with you about what I’m seeing and what seems realistic.
Do you accept insurance?+
No — I’m private pay only at $200 per session. This keeps waitlists short, sessions focused, and gives us flexibility in how we work together. Some clients use out-of-network benefits to offset the cost. I can provide a superbill if needed.
